PIC18F43K20-I/P
PIC18F43K20-I/P - 8KB Flash 8-bit MCU, 64MHz, 40-PDIP | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC18F43K20-I/P is a high-performance 8-bit PIC18 enhanced Flash microcontroller with 8KB (4K x 16) of program memory, 512 bytes of RAM, and 256 bytes of EEPROM, housed in a 40-pin PDIP (0.600 inch) through-hole package. The device operates from 1.8V to 5.5V supply (with XLP nanoWatt technology) and runs at up to 64MHz clock speed using an internal oscillator, delivering up to 16 MIPS instruction throughput for embedded control tasks. It provides 36 digital I/O pins, a 14-channel 10-bit ADC, two analog comparators, and three programmable external interrupts, making it a versatile general-purpose MCU.
An 8-bit PIC microcontroller is a CISC Harvard-architecture device that executes one instruction per clock cycle from a wide instruction set including hardware multiply, bit-oriented operations, and direct addressing. Within Microchip's taxonomy, the PIC18 family sits between the PIC16 baseline (12-bit instructions) and PIC24/dsPIC (16-bit) families, offering enhanced peripherals (10-bit ADC, PWM, EUSART, MSSP SPI/I2C) at low cost. The "K20" sub-family emphasizes nanoWatt XLP extreme-low-power technology for battery applications, while the "43K20" pin-count code indicates the 40/44-pin variant.
Key features include 64MHz max CPU speed, 8KB Flash program memory with self-programmability, 512 bytes SRAM, 256 bytes EEPROM, a 14-channel 10-bit ADC with 1.2V fixed voltage reference, two analog comparators with rail-to-rail inputs, two CCP/ECCP modules for PWM/Signal Measurement, and four interrupt-on-change I/O expanders. Communication interfaces include EUSART with LIN support, MSSP for SPI/I2C master/slave, and an enhanced PWM with complementary outputs and dead-band control. The device also integrates a 16-bit timer with gate control, four 8-bit timers, hardware RTCC with calendar, and a programmable LVD/BOR.
Typical applications span consumer electronics (washing machine controllers, microwave ovens, coffee machines), industrial automation (sensor nodes, motor control, HVAC), USB/embedded HID peripherals, smart energy metering, automotive body modules (CAN-less nodes), and battery-powered IoT sensor platforms. Its nanoWatt XLP sleep currents (<100 nA typical) extend coin-cell life in remote sensor nodes. The 40-PDIP package supports breadboard and through-hole prototyping as well as hand-soldered retrofit of legacy through-hole designs without surface-mount reflow infrastructure.
When designing with this part, verify the supply voltage range (1.8V-5.5V) matches your rail, ensure decoupling capacitance (0.1uF + 10uF bulk) is placed within 5mm of VDD pins, and use Microchip's MPLAB X IDE + XC8 compiler for code development. The PIC18F43K20-I/P runs code compatible with PIC18F45K20 (different pin count), PIC18F24K30I (lower pin count), and PIC18F26K20I siblings for portable firmware across packages.
